I want to pay money for this. A chat service with built-in GitHub integration including issue and file referencing sounds like a fantastic tool for teams building using GitHub. Any chance you can use an actual Kickstarter instead so I can throw money at you? :)

As long as it's not Pound coins. Those things are heavy! Thanks for the feedback. Our Clickstarter (tm?) is doing quite nicely. I don't think we'll need to Kickstarter it, we've actually built a lot of the tech anyway and could put this together pretty quickly and start charging too.

Any chance that Gitter will be on github so we can help out with it?

I love the source code at the beginning of this page.

+1 for finding it :) you should check it out in sublime text in the little preview strip they have on the right column, it looks awesome there.

job conditioning, I always look at the source code and the GTmetrix (YSlow, Page Speed) of all the "show HN" projects I see

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, node node node! :) Um, thanks for pointing this out, will take a look at it, we may have blown through the rate limit.

Isnt echoing errors like that a security issue? Im not implying it necessarly is, because it's obviously conveniently useful for debugging.

It's only a security issue if it provides exploitable information. It's more commonly avoided as an issue regarding user confusion, not security.

Looks pretty neat. I went to signup, but then noticed that they require commit access to my public repos. Why do you need this permission to integrate links to the code and similar features? I don't like giving out commit access unless absolutely necessary.

Hmmm, we shouldn't need that. Will take a look. You can always signup and then revoke the access if you're not comfortable.

Thanks for pointing out.

This looks like it was influenced by the Hub, a Node Knockout project with a landing page created by high school students that's been picking up steam on Twitter since last weekend.

Both landing pages seem nice, and looks like a great way to test the idea out!
